As far as I am aware, app connect only works with the phone plugged into the USB port.
Haven't really played much with it.

Did you add the £100 option to your build or did it just work?
I just added the discover pro and LED Heads as a BE Package.
On saying that I live in Ireland so if we get different options or not I am unsure.
You get DAB on the Discover pro as far as I am aware. We do not.

Re: About to order
Do you think it makes any difference to anything which ever one you choose? I reckon it doesn't. Well, I haven't played around with them much for the kick of it I put it on eco a few nights ago and maybe it was in my mind but I could almost swear it felt a lot lazier. Reckon the VRS was more fun ov...

All done. Used the full wiring setup from my Octavia vRS. Power wire across under roof lining on passengers side. Down pillar and into fuse area. Located a spare fuse socket that powered on with ignition and plugged in my piggyback fuse holder there. Got and earth point between the door pillar and t...

Did you pop off the trim down the passenger pillar to tuck the wiring in?PHATBOX wrote:Wired it to the cigarette lighter fuse behind the glove box so it powers with ignition only.
Was it easy to pop down the glove box?
Which fuse is it? Are they marked?
Thanks

Another ex vRS man here who is currently driving a B8 A4 and B7 Passat. Have started to look at around at replacements for one of them. Choice is a new hi-spec Passat or B9 A4 being launched towards end of year. Any chance I could get a look at your new Passat sometime Eugene? I could personally de...

So many better colours than blank canvas white . Tar spots and looks horrendously dirty in the winter months .

Re: Anyone order one?
I would wait.
No was would I accept a damaged one,
Maybe go against your plans and ask the dealer if there another similar spec one on the system they could get for you? Push them for a different color even as it was their fault.?

Re: Choice of car colour
The crimson is gorgeous. 2 friends have them. One problem with it is that it's a colour that needs good sunlight on it to bring it out. Problem in Ireland is we have clouds 99.9% of the time and can look a little dull in the distance. Have I the right man in saying you had a vRS octavia with decent...
